  1. i vigorously disagree. Unlike boxing, where a boxer is "knocked-out" but is given a standing 8-count to recover to get bludgoned again, in teh UFC the fight would be over. ALso, a fighter has the freedom to "tap-out" any time. Most make the arguments that the fights are much safer than boxing. UFC fighters take far fewer blows to the head in a MMA fight with 3 or f rounds than a boxer would in a sport that only stresses striking and goes 10-15 rounds.
  2. yeah, how do you get one of those jobs? I can draw. i took that "art test" that is advertised on T.V.
  3. SI Swimsuit body painting and this one there are more there - these are my two favorites
  4. What the HELL was that . . .
  5. here is a link to the new Ford Edge : linky I am going to get one in the next month or so. The vista roof is awesome. The drive is smooth and the mileage is not bad for a SUV. I am a bit pissed that bill Ford finally makes a good vehicle and can't make it more fuel efficient, given that it is 2007 and bush is about to !@#$ up the situation with Iran causing the oil market to go nuts.
  6. Ugh - - ok, joe illuzi (wnypolitics.com) is now saying the following (i thought he was backing off when he realized the e-mail was making its rounds): We all suspect that this e-mail is crap. The biggest glaring error in the e-mail: Why the hell would someone buy a bunch of land and build a dome on it for a hypothetical football team?
  7. uh . . . right. I once heard a conservative friend of mine argue in favor of using nuclear weapons on the middle east. That may be the only idea worse than this.
  8. I could traumatize my two-year-old son if I let him watch that - should I? just kidding
  9. Other than the theory contained in my signature, the one I like is what the EW writer calls "The Redemption of Television Theory." Here it is:
  10. The new Ford Edge is F-ing awesome! Get it with the Vista roof and your life will be changed forever. Well - not really, but it is a great vehicle.
  11. Looked Like Toronto
  12. That old reporter is scrappy
  13. why would you think Connolly is playing tonight? He has made progress but he has a herniated disk in addition to the concussion problems. It will be weeks before he sees any game-time
  14. Travis is and was a stupid one demensional back who makes Willis look like a mensa member
  15. i lived in Watertown for 18 years and went to Syracuse university. The trip up and down Route 81 between syracuse and watertown can be a bit tricky in the winter. You can litteraly have blue skies until you hit Pulaski - then you hit a wall of white lake effect. On numerous occasions it would take three hours to make the trip. It gets so bad that I only stay on the road by following the tail lights of the car in front of me (trusting that car is still on the road.) Watertown and Syracuse does not get teh snow that Pulaski gets, but they both make Buffalo look snowless.
  16. LOL! I was the last SOB who posted this story - maybe it should just be pinned.
  17. I agree that the heavyweight division is weak and that CroCop will help cure that problem. After watching some of Cro-Cop's losses it seems they all occur on the ground. Brandon Vera is the only heavyweight that I feel has teh standup abilities to avoid getting his head caved in and have the ability to take Cro-Cop to the ground. BTW, Cro-Cop's legs look rediculously huge! No wonder his kicks are so dangerous.
  18. What the hell! Travis Lutter gets the chance of a lifetime and he can't make weight. I didn't expect him to win (or even compete) but that shows a lack of discipline. I was not too impressed with Rampage last night. He was not on top of his game. Cro-Cop was stellar. Sanchez was a scared little boy in the ring with him. Cro-Cop is like a surgeon with his strikes - very little wasted movement and missed punches. I think he could kill Silvia. However, I think the best heavyweight right now is Brandon Vera. His style could give Cro-Cop some problems. Vera is the only heavyweight that stands a chance.
  19. A Pynchon fan! This conspiracy theory is Pynchon-esque
  20. I can't believe i am defending the rumor. BUT, the new HD scoreboard means nothing. Erie County is mandated to give something like $3 million for capital improvements every year for the next 30 years. The Bills use that money for whatever they want.
  21. Well, i don't believe the rumor either - just thought it was interesting. IF TRUE (which I don't think it is) this would be great IMO. We erase all the donohoe mistakes in one fast swoop and get a new stadium downtown.
  22. sorry to run afoul of the messege board geeks code of ethics. geez. BTW - I don't see the previous post (and I am not going to read every vaguely titled post, like "interesting," in order to find it.). Mods, you can delete if necessary.
  23. This is for all you conspiracy theorists out there. First, there is NO BASIS IN FACT FOR THIS RUMOR!!!! I do not believe it myself. However, the rumor is an interesting topic for discussion and if true I will be joining a bigfoot search party: The link is: Wilson has wanted to move bills from the start of the CBA mess.
  24. i don't want to be "one of those guys" on this board who says hot chics are ugly, but ... she may want to bring a medial malpractice action against the doctor who removed her ass.
  25. to be fair, her hair did look like crap. LOL! I feel bad for the future husband. Imagine if he comes home with the wrong type of shampoo when he goes shopping
